Recent evidence that chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) adjust their behavior when they see peers performing better on a food acquisition task contrasts with numerous studies showing chimpanzees’ preference for their original technique, even after observing or discovering a more efficient technique. We tested two pairs of captive chimpanzees (n= 18 and 21 trials) in the informed forager paradigm to address whether chimpanzees, misinformed of the location of a hidden food, would adjust their foraging strategy upon witnessing an informed partner finding food at a different location. One ignorant subject always searched where she had seen the food (false location), whereas a second learned to follow her informed competitor to improve her foraging success (obtaining food on 33% of trials compared to 9.5%). Using cross correlations, we found when ignorant subjects walked towards the false location, they were less likely to follow informed subjects’ gaze than overall (z= -11.34). One ignorant subject adjusted her movement to match the informed subject’s gaze direction (r= 0.08, p<0.05), supporting previous evidence of the use of others’ gaze to modify one’s own tactics. By behaving this way, the ignorant subject improved her foraging success (r= 0.15, p<0.05). The striking variations between individuals indicate that some chimpanzees may have awareness of their own false belief, but others may not.
